Because he didnt fucking die because he didnt have a front plate.
If I run out of sugar, and have to walk to the store, and on the way to the store, I get run over by a car and die, did I fucking die because I ran out of sugar? No, I died because I was hit by a car and my internal organs stopped working. You dont die from buying sugar.
The cop didnt just approach his car and say, "Sir, you dont have a front plate", pull out a gun and shoot the guy. You may as well argue that the person, who wrote the law about front plates, killed the guy, because had it not been for that law, he would not have been pulled over for breaking said law.
This cop appears to be a mess.

Ray Tensing, the former University of Cincinnati police officer accused of murder for shooting to death an unarmed motorist, had been an Ohio State trooper but walked off the job after one day, according to a new report.
Tensing reported to the Ohio State Highway Patrol's 26-week academy in 2013, but quit because he "couldn't adapt to the training environment," said patrol spokesman Sgt. Vincent Shirley, according to a Thursday report in The Enquirer.
still love ya, 4D, but you have to be careful with the path of logic in these situations. Im biased because of the stories I hear from my brother, who is a cop, but in the end, laws and facts trump anything I personally think about these situations. This cop, IMO, fucked up badly.
In that previous other case in NYC, the cops were fine and handled things appropriately. You can always play the "but they could have done it THIS way", but everything they did, under those circumstances (from what I remember), was legal and fine. They didnt choke him to death. He was a fat ass with health conditions, and they restrained him according to what they were allowed to do (dont like they law on this, petition to have it changed) and the guy died from other conditions. You could therefore use your logic here to say, Had he listened to police, he would be alive, instead of, "they killed him because he was selling a cigarette".
Follow laws.
